High-performance acrylic roof coating for commercial properties, built to reflect heat, protect aging roofs, and lower energy costs.
This fluid-applied system creates a seamless, monolithic membrane over the existing roof substrate. It serves as a preventative maintenance measure and a solution for aging roofs that have begun to show signs of weathering, minor leaks, or surface degradation.
Silicone coatings are engineered specifically for flat and low-slope roofing systems commonly found in industrial and commercial zones. The material adheres effectively to a wide range of substrates, making it a versatile option for many buildings in the Cudahy area.
The following roof types are compatible with silicone restoration:
In Cudahy, specific types of commercial infrastructure benefit most from this application due to their large square footage and flat roof design. American High Tech Roof Coatings Inc. services a variety of facilities including:
Budget allocation is a primary concern for facility management. Silicone roof coating offers a distinct financial structure compared to a total roof tear-off and replacement. The primary cost savings stem from the reduction of labor and waste disposal.
A full replacement requires the physical removal of the old roof, which incurs significant landfill fees and labor hours. Restoration allows the existing insulation and substrate to remain in place. The silicone is applied directly on top after necessary repairs and cleaning are complete
| Cost Factor | Traditional Roof Replacement | Silicone Roof Coating |
|---|---|---|
| Material Costs | High (New insulation, membranes, fasteners) | Moderate (Primer and Silicone Coating) |
| Labor Intensity | High (Demolition and Installation) | Low (Cleaning and Spray Application) |
| Disposal Fees | High (Landfill costs for old material) | Minimal to None |
| Business Disruption | Significant (Noise, debris, potential closure) | Minimal (Business operations continue) |
The local climate presents specific challenges for commercial roofs. High UV exposure and thermal shock, the expansion and contraction of roofing materials due to temperature fluctuations, are common causes of roof failure. Silicone roof coatings are formulated to address these environmental factors.
UV Stability and Reflectivity:
Silicone is highly reflective and UV stable. It does not chalk or become brittle under long-term sun exposure. By reflecting up to 90% of UV rays, the coating reduces the surface temperature of the roof. This transfer of heat reduction lowers the cooling load on HVAC systems, contributing to energy efficiency within the building.
Resistance to Ponding Water:
Flat roofs often suffer from ponding water, defined as water that remains on the roof for more than 48 hours after precipitation. Unlike acrylic coatings, which can re-emulsify or breakdown under standing water, high-solids silicone is inorganic and impermeable. It withstands ponding water without deteriorating, maintaining a waterproof seal even in areas with poor drainage.
A properly installed silicone roof coating system extends the life of an existing roof significantly. American High Tech Roof Coatings Inc. applies coatings to meet specific millage (thickness) requirements set by manufacturers. Depending on the thickness applied, the service life of the roof can be extended by up to 20 years.
Silicone systems are also renewable. Once the initial warranty period nears its end, the roof can be cleaned and recoated with a fresh layer of silicone. This process renews the warranty and further extends the lifespan of the roof, indefinitely deferring the need for a full tear-off.
